Selfie drone on the road

The most striking feature of the drone is the fact that the control can only be carried out by means of hand gestures . This makes DJI a big step further than Zerotech with DOBBY, where a smartphone still has to be used as a control element despite the recognition of the face. Optionally, the Spark can also be operated by remote control; This is included in the € 200 more expensive Fly More Combo.

With only 300g of weight, the drone is also extremely light and starts from the palm of the hand. All in all, one wants to keep the operation as simple and intuitive as possible, in order to address a broad buyer. If the control works as promised the Spark could actually be a photo and video drone for everyone – provided you are willing to spend the 600 € for it.

The camera of Spark

The camera takes videos in 1080p and photos with up to 12MP on – a 4K camera would probably have driven the price too much and is not installed here. The camera sits on a 2-axis gimbal and supports various photo modes, including panoramic and bokeh modes . The drone can automatically follow objects and people while it is filming, ejects collisions autonomously, and returns to you as soon as the battery draws to its end.

The drone can be pre-ordered in the DJI Store for € 599 ; 799 € costs the Fly More Combo, which also contains a remote control, a bag, a second battery, the battery charging station and four propeller protection as well as an extra propeller pair. Currently there are at GearBest but already an offer for 471.69 € with the voucher GBspark . If it is similar to the Spark similar to the Mavic Pro, then the price of the other Chinashops is likely to fall.
